What others are saying
Woods Lake Campground is a great spot for those looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway. Located near Telluride and Wilson Mesa, the campground is surrounded by stunning snow-capped mountains, and the lake itself is an irrigation reservoir. The sites are spacious and private, with plenty of shade and picnic tables. There are also plenty of trails to explore, and a geocache on site. The campground is well-stocked with bear-proof trash receptacles and fresh water hydrants. The restrooms are clean and well-maintained, and the campground is surprisingly quiet even when it is near full capacity. The only downside is the hordes of biting flies, so make sure to bring window screens and bug spray!

From The Campground

Woods Lake Campground is situated next to Woods Lake in a dense aspen forest. It has 3 loops with 41 campsites. The main loop has a group site, 4 double sites, and pull-through sites. The horse loop has 5 sites, 5 paddocks, 2 hay racks, watering troughs, pull-through sites and a large parking lot. This parking area is ideal for horse trailers and serves as a trailhead for the Woods Lake Trail. The campground is an excellent base camp for hikers and equestrians to access the Lizard Head Wilderness via the Lone Cone Trail or Woods Lake Trail. Mountain bikers and motorcyclists can access the Wilson Mesa Trail, only .5 miles from the campground. Fishing opportunities are within walking distance of the campground at nearby Woods Lake. The campground is surrounded by dramatic mountain views of the Lizard Head Wilderness. The 'quaking' leaves and majestic fall colors from the aspen trees add to the campground's allure. Telluride, a full-service community, is located about 8 miles east on State Highway 145 from the Fall Creek Road intersection.
